    Seen that on here actually. The article was from like 4am.

    It’s a decent trade fight but C5 deserves better content tbh. Really wish they’d have given the budget to Eaton or Probellum rather than that clown Kalle.

    It’s been nearly 12 months since the Wasserman/C5 deal was announced the only decent fights they’ve gave us were Bentley-Udofia and Kelly-Williamson.

    The Probellum card tonight is literally better than anything Wasserman have put on.

      Fights been scrapped mate. BBBofC won’t sanction it for the vacant English title.

        Really? Is the issue Webster/his opposition? It does look pretty poor per Boxrec.

          I think so. Lee Eaton has confirmed it as well, fight is off unfortunately.

          In better news, maybe the board order Parpa vs Clarke now.

            Been told a rumour the Fury’s are independently negotiating with the Saudi’s.

            Not sure how many fights he has left with Arum/Warren.

            If true wouldn’t be surprised if this ends up in the high court.

              Ben Whittaker will be back around May.

              Smith-Eubank Jr 2 card would make sense.

                I think that Whitaker is all hype

                  Has a DeGale feel to him. He’s not quite as good as he thinks he is.

                  I do think he’s a got a lot of tools though, if he can reign the ego in he can definitely get to the higher levels of the sport.

                    Looks like Tommy McCarthy could be getting a crack at Goulamirian.

                    It does also beg the question, why couldn’t Boxxer secure any of their guys a shot? Especially considering they’re doing a French card 3 weeks earlier.

                      Think I read Goulamirian is with Y12, and the Paris card is with All Star? But yeah it is odd, I presume the plan is still Okolie in the summer though; if so, McCarthy isn't a bad opponent to give a name on Goulamirian's record that people will be vaguely familiar with, I mean his only other fight post-2019 is Egorov.
